I've done it both ways and frankly, I really don't notice any more vibration transfer without the rubber mounts than I do with them. Some say that they have had body seems crack due to running without rubber mounts.
 
Sometimes we use round rubber ones that we pickup at the local 4 x 4 shop. They use them on Jeeps between the body and frame and they are about 2 inches in diameter x 3/4 inch thick, and they have about a 1/2 inch hole through the center. Very cheap too, like $ 1-$2 each.

Sometimes I just use those rubber fender washers that come in various diameters and hole sizes. Even ACE hardware has a drawer with them in it.

Use rubber if you do, and pu tthe rubber on the top and bottom of the frame mount. Isoltes the body more. Poly is too stiff IMO, and still transmits a lot of vibrations.
